He said he didn't keep it. but could get
it if she insisted ON having it. Turn

We submit that the above astonish-

and candid investigation by thinking

when druggists turn away customers
by falsifying the character. of 4 remedy
because they do not happen to have it

This afflicted man had not disrcgartied
the druggists advice and sent else

doubt have been in his grave.
